Paalam-Suedindien e.V.

We aim to support socially disadvantaged individuals and families in South India, with a particular focus on empowering women and strengthening their economic and social independence. Our goal is to help women sustainably improve their living conditions and gain greater self-reliance. At the same time, it is important to us to understand the local context as well as possible and to ensure that the impact of our support can be clearly followed and evaluated. Our work is project-based and carried out in collaboration with local partner organizations in South India. These organizations develop and submit project proposals that focus especially on empowering women and strengthening their role within their families and communities. All submitted project proposals are carefully reviewed and jointly evaluated by the association. In doing so, we place particular emphasis on ensuring that the initiatives are implemented in a transparent, accountable, and sustainable way. How does it work? In India, we work with trusted partner organizations and local contacts who are familiar with the local conditions. They maintain close relationships with the women and communities who are intended to benefit from the projects. Our partners help develop project ideas, identify local needs, and realistically assess the social situation of the target groups. They also support the implementation of the projects and assist with the necessary documentation and reporting.
